Phenotypic plasticity from a predator perspective, 2003: PDF p. 7 (Organisms living in variable environments can optimize their fitness by showing adaptive phenotypic plasticity; phenotypic plasticity is common in both predators and prey) Wikipedia, May 13, 2006: Phenotypic plasticity (The ability of an organism with a given genotype to change its phenotype in response to changes in the environment is called phenotypic plasticity. Such plasticity in some cases expresses as several highly morphologically distinct results; in other cases, a continuous norm of reaction describes the functional interrelationship of a range of environments to a range of phenotypes.)
